Popular Reviews

Make Yourself by Incubus

Not even in the top 1001 albums by artists with the initial I in 1999. Terrible!

Yeezus by Kanye West

Appalling misogynistic bullcrap

All Ratings (1089)

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
May 17 2022

Loved it all apart from the Blue Peter bit at the end 🤣

May 18 2022

There‘s a 5/5, 50 minute album within the 80 minutes here. Unnecessary filler so not all killer!

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 19 2022

Always had them down as a great singles band, this reaffirms that thought.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 20 2022

Solid album all the way through.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
May 21 2022

Solid without being spectacular. Innervisions is a better Stevie album.

GREY Area by Little Simz
May 22 2022

Way out of my comfort zone. A couple of great tracks but mostly fluff.

Face to Face by The Kinks
May 23 2022

Nice easy listening album.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
May 24 2022

More about the situation than the tunes.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
May 25 2022

Pretty dated sound. Was hoping for something a bit more experimental in line with the Velvet Underground.

Make Yourself by Incubus
May 26 2022

Not even in the top 1001 albums by artists with the initial I in 1999. Terrible!

1989 by Taylor Swift
May 27 2022

Classic pop. Just when you think a song is a differ, back it comes with a massive chorus.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 28 2022

Weird discrepancy between the UK and American version. A Stones album with great other tracks beyond the singles.

London Calling by The Clash
May 29 2022

Classic! You could argue that it’s a couple of songs too long but it is an amazing album.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
May 31 2022

The point where Indie and Dance crossed over. Excellent album.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jun 01 2022

Easy listening and inoffensive. Bobby has a great voice but no masterpiece.

Jun 02 2022

I used to love this album but it’s dated and equally tough to relate to an album which is mostly about getting stoned when you‘re in your 50s.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 03 2022

Not a huge fan. I like my 60s rock a bit more psychedelic.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jun 04 2022

An absolute classic.

Pretentious nonsense. ‘A mole digging in a hole, digging up my soul’ - it was my soul that that mole took!

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jun 08 2022

An era defining album without being a classic. Portishead defined the Bristol sound more for me.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jun 10 2022

Decent enough album.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 11 2022

The album tracks are better than the singles.

Jun 12 2022

When you know The Byrds psychedelic work then listening to their Christian, Country album is not a pleasure. Terrible album.

2112 by Rush
Jun 13 2022

A weird prog, heavy metal crossover that I didn’t get.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jun 14 2022

Some great songs on here but not as polished as some of his later work.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jun 16 2022

Decent without being amazing.

Low-Life by New Order
Jun 19 2022

This was the least known of New Order‘s work for me. Excellent album with very few weak songs.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jun 22 2022

Like listening to the soundtrack of some messed up Disney Pixar movie.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 27 2022

Not sure what this was at all. Didn’t fit into any genre.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jun 28 2022

The definition of ok

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jul 02 2022

New to me but on a par with his other brilliant work.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Jul 03 2022

Excellent album, didn’t realise that the singles came from this.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jul 04 2022

Not much else going on after the singles

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jul 05 2022

They tried to make me like this album I said no, no, no

Jul 06 2022

Some great tunes there but some not so much

Jul 11 2022

Timeless masterpiece

Protection by Massive Attack
Jul 13 2022

Decent without being great

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jul 14 2022

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jul 16 2022

Didn’t expect to like it but it was great.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jul 17 2022

Perfect from start to finish

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jul 19 2022

Finally understood this album after a day of playing it. Think I needed to do some growing up first.

Eagles by Eagles
Jul 21 2022

Not much going on

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jul 22 2022

Much more well crafted than I remember.

Low by David Bowie
Jul 26 2022

Understated brilliance.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jul 27 2022

Magical

Debut by Björk
Jul 28 2022

I’ve always tried to get into Bjork but failed. This was another instance. There are some really interesting parts but ultimately it’s nonsense.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jul 29 2022

Immature album that was the springboard to a wonderful career

Is This It by The Strokes
Aug 01 2022

The saviours of Indie Rock

Some good moments

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Aug 03 2022

Great stuff

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

Aug 08 2022

Warming up for greater things.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Aug 09 2022

Great album that needs further exploration.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Aug 11 2022

Appalling misogynistic bullcrap

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Aug 12 2022

Perfect sunny day album

Van Halen by Van Halen
Aug 13 2022

Interesting guitar noodling masks poor album

Aug 14 2022

An unexpected delight. Never heard of it, not my genre but excellent nonetheless.

More Specials by The Specials
Aug 21 2022

Good without being great

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 22 2022

Always thought I want to like Nick Cave more than I actually do.

The Specials by The Specials
Aug 24 2022

Excellent debut that resonates with the shit going on today.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Aug 25 2022

Only half the album was on Spotify. Bits I heard were fine nothing more.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Aug 28 2022

Title track is a classic

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Sep 02 2022

Want Two, gave it 2!

Didn’t really stand out in any way.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods

Interesting in places but nothing hugely innovative.

Sep 10 2022

One of the most complete albums of all time. Faultless from beginning to end.

Sep 22 2022

Decent without being too spectacular

1984 by Van Halen
Sep 25 2022

Not my genre, sounds really dated.

Arrival by ABBA
Sep 26 2022

Hard not to love Abba. The formula for perfect melodies is amazing. Lyrically it can be juvenile in places but the music always makes up for it.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Sep 28 2022

Surprisingly good.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 29 2022

Brilliant stuff.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Sep 30 2022

Really interesting, knew nothing of Pere Ubu but was pleasantly surprised.

Oct 02 2022

It’s a great album but just short of his absolute pinnacle.

The final brilliant album before they went all stadium and Bono wore sunglasses inside.

OK by Talvin Singh
Oct 07 2022

Interesting without being amazjng

Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 10 2022

The transitional album from the band. Great but not perfect.

One of the most important albums of the 90s. It felt a little dated though.

Oct 12 2022

Not a lot to see here

There’s a couple of standout tracks but the rest is filler

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Mar 02 2023
